"Egh?" I blinked. World quest? Why is it hard? A . . . world boss? That's good news! I was even more motivated to find this secret lair now! So I triggered this stone pillar to show up? But the question is, I was the one who received the quest. Can the others complete it too? I asked in my mind as I looked at the others' curious faces. Luke was inspecting the stone pillar, trying to see if he could trigger it to reveal a hidden passageway or something. We stared at the stone…-

"Egh?" I was stunned silent when Luke approached me and whispered in my ears that he saw me sneaking on the girls' bed last night. We were outside the inn in the early seven in the morning, waiting for the girls to finish whatever they were still doing in the room. "I won't tell the girls," he said with a solemn expression. "If you tell me how you just suddenly went back to sitting on the floor in a blink of an eye." I was more bothered that he was blackmailing me about my newly acquired skill than…

As I thought, I couldn't get a shut-eye. I wasn't accustomed to sleeping like this, prompt on the floor like some beggar asking for money. In a way, I envied Cross that he could just slump his butt on the cold wooden planks, close his eyes, and snore to dreamland. I guess that's the advantage of being poor. Their body was already accustomed to hardship that they simply didn't care where they slept. My family was well off, and I never once slept on the floor . . . Alright, maybe that one time that I…

I was up at the first strike of four. It must be my body's alarm clock. It was still dark, and I wanted to go back to sleep, but I couldn't. Not with the constant reminder of the system that flashed on my face. I whisked it away. No way was I going to do that. Luke was sleeping just a meter in front of me while there wasn't enough space on the bed for me to fit. . . . . . . Or was there? Someone whispered in my head, and my eyes flung open. Who was that? *thump! My heart thumped so loud I…

Why was the list of items kept getting crazier and crazier? But that Handsome Perfume only cost 10,000 Evil Points. As of now, I have 2,500 Evil Points . . . I shook my head and concentrated on the conversation we were having. "How many gil have you guys got?" Luke asked. "I only have 98 left," said Jane. "122." Sighed Soarsie. "Uh . . . 74," I muttered. Everyone looked at me. I know, right. Where did my previous gil go? Probably in that 2oz glass that I didn't even consume. "I have 312 left,"…

When we got back to the village, the sun was beginning to sink just in time that we arrived. After settling the fair of the inn, we settled in our shared room while my heart bleeds. Almost all the gil I got from grinding was gone just like that. What about dinner now? "You okay?" Soarsie asked. "Yeah. It's just . . ." I swept the room with my eyes. It was cramped, enough to fit two single beds side by side. It had only one bed on top of a rackety old wooden floor. The walls were thin woods put…

As we delved into the forest, I was surprised to find that I wasn't exhausted like the others and the monsters were low level compared to my ATP. So fighting them was a breeze with just my fist and legs alone. Or maybe my ATP was high enough for this beginner's forest? The others also didn't ask why I was fighting with my bare hands and that I landed critical attacks on every monster I defeated. "I'm kind of scared of using my skills again, and my MP is already low." I used to tell them. "I…

"Actually . . . I have a sys–" GrRoOwL! My confession was cut short at the appearance of a wolf half the size of us. They were the same wolf that Lancelot defeated, but the worrying part was that . . . they were three of them. "Get behind me." I pushed Soarsie behind my back and eyed the wolves that were circling us. Ready to pounce with their sharp razor teeth. "Calm down, everyone. Even though they look scary, remember that you have powers now to defend and attack." Luke brandished his sword and…

❹ Brake up with your girlfriend Rewards: +10,000 EXP Egg (?) ‖ E N D ‖ Ain't gonna happen! I screamed in my mind. Wait . . . maybe I could cheat the system for the rewards? If I tell Soarsie about the system later, then perhaps we could actually cheat it together! Like I could spank her butt with her consent and pretend to break up with her but reunite together after I get the rewards? In that way, I could get tons of EXP without doing anything against my will and conscience! That could…

I wanted to test my skill and see if I could make the little Horned Rabbits become my minion. But there were other players present. I guess I'd test it out later when I'm alone. How do you turn one to become your minion anyway? That's unfair. Shouldn't I at least have something for my effort? . . . I ignored it and continued grinding, but the monsters were beginning to get scarce after a while of engaging with the players. Their respawn rate was much slower than I expected. Another…
